Waltsch: Hotels and Accommodations

The park of Valeč Castle is decorated with sculptures from the workshop of Matyáš Bernard Braun. They depict allegories of qualities and figures from Greek mythology. The Theatron of Valeč was intended for open-air theater and musical performances.

The Holy Trinity Column in Valeč was designed by the architect František Maxmilián Kaňka and created in the workshop of the sculptor Matyáš Bernard Braun. The parish Church of the Nativity of Saint John the Baptist in Valeč was founded in the mid-13th century. The Church of Our Lady of Sorrows in the cemetery was built in 1751 in the late Baroque style.

A tour of the interior of the Church of the Holy Trinity in Valeč includes explanations of the burial traditions of the Lords of Valeč.

The park of Valeč Castle is freely accessible year-round from sunrise to sunset. It preserves a Baroque water system with cascades, fountains, ponds, irrigation facilities, and an almost three-kilometer-long water pipeline.

Valečsko is a protected cultural landscape surrounding the Baroque town of Valeč; the castle and two churches are its defining features.

The Valeč Lapidarium presents 28 original Baroque sculptures and sculptural groups that once adorned the castle terraces and gardens. An elaborate light and sound presentation allows visitors to experience the sculptures in different atmospheres.

The Stations of the Cross in Valeč led from the Castle Church of the Holy Trinity to Calvary. The newly restored Stations of the Cross begins directly behind Valeč at a bend in the road from the Castle Church of the Holy Trinity toward Vrbice. Along the road, it passes by a larger section of the chapels and then continues on the left across a meadow above the overgrown slope. Behind the fourteenth station is a group depicting the Crucifixion, from which there is a broad view over all of Valeč. Parking is available at the Castle Church of the Holy Trinity in Valeč.
